Rough and the Robin

Our dog Rough was not handsome
but he was good He grew quite fond
of little robin that used to come and
sip water from his basin. The robin
would perch on the edge and sing a
sweet song, and Rough would BE- so
glad to hear 1t that he would show his
JOY by rafting his chain, or by leaping
up and try ne to plac.
lie used TO be cha mel to his kennel
near the barn-yard. so that he might
bark # thief came near II WAS hard
to keep so good dog chained. Rough
did not like to he cha ned He liked
to go off with the men in the fields and
woods, and by the side Of the lake
where he could swim.
But when he was chained lie was not
sad if Little robin would only come and
sing.
Little robin after while grow so
bold that he would sometimes perch on
Rough's head.
We thought it odd that big dog Ike
Rough should be so fond of a Little

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 3. "A

Mayor of Lincoln, Neb., and the City
Council of that city. On the 3lst day OF

Lincoln from declaring vacant and retilling

it was alleged of appropriating to his own

Judge Brewer therefore fined them 5000

CATHOLIC GUILDS
For tho AmelIoration of the Condition of
Catholic Workingmen.

For tho Amelioration of the Condition of
Catholic workingmsn.
NEW YORK, December 3.-According 10
reports that seem TO be thoroughly reliable,
the Catholic Church in the United States
is going thoroughly and systematically
into the matter Of assisting in the ameliOra-
tion of the laboriDg classes within it's own
pale and to inaugurate chain of organiza-
tions that will have for their objects the
assistance OF the workingman.
The idea is new to America, but not to
Germany or France. Cardinal Gibbons,
since his last visit to Europe, where be
went ont of his way to study the works of
the French guilds, has been q warm AL
mirer OF them and has been in favor Of their
establishment here. The present is an
opportuue time for the movement. The
Knights Of Labor, which formerly filled
the field for Catholic as well as non-Catho-
lie workingmen, is plainly disintegrating.
Besides, Socialism, which The Catholic
Church violently opposes, is rampant, and
The church wonld like to get workingmen
into organizations where such principles
would not be taught. Again, DR.. Nc.
Glynn and other agitators have asserted
that the present heads of the church have
no love for the laborer and it would be O
great move to prove the contrary.
The movement here has taken no definite
shape We. and much preliminary work will
be required, az Cardinal Gibbons and a
few others are the only ones who are really
acquainted with the system rs it prevails
abroad. Cardinal Gibbons is now study
ing the project closely and some definite
action may soon be locded for.
